“ Get Together by Jessie Collin Young”:
Jesse Colin Young — Get Together lyrics
Love is but a song we sing
Fears’ the way we die
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry
Though the dove is on the wing
And you may not know why
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
And try to love one another right now
Some may come and some may go
He will surely pass
When the one that left us here
Returns for us at last
We are but a moment’s sunlight
Fading in the grass
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
If you hear the song I sing
You will understand, listen
You hold the key to love and fear
All in your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both
It’s there at your command
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
I said, come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Right now, right now
“ ***★★★★★Love is All★★★★★*** “Love Is All”. Turn it up, spread it around and lets make the world a better place one heart and one song at a time… [To celebrate the launch of the new Playing For Change website]
Everybody’s got to live together
All the people got to understand
So, love your neighbour
Like you love your brother
Come on and join the band
Well, all you need is love and understanding
Ring the bell and let the people know
We’re so happy and we’re celebratin’
Come on and let your feelings show
Love is all, well love is all,
Love is all, can’t you hear the call
Oh, love is all you need
Love is all you need at the Butterfly Ball
Ain’t you happy that we’re all together
At the ball in nature’s countryside
And although we’re wearing different faces
Nobody wants to hide
Love is all and all is love and
It’s easy, yes it’s so easy
At the Butterfly Ball where love is all
And it’s so easy
All you need is love and understanding
Hey, ring the bell and let the people know
We’re so happy and we’re celebratin’
Let your feelings show
Love is all, yes love is all at the Butterfly Ball
Love is big, love is small
Love is free, love is all
At the Butterfly Ball
When you back’s to the wall
When you’re starting to fall
You got something to lean on
Love is everything
It can make you sing at the Butterfly Ball
Love is all, I say love is all, yes love is all
At the Butterfly Ball

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
But they’re really saying I love you.
I hear baby’s cry, and I watched them grow
They’ll learn much more than I’ll ever know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
Yes, I think to myself what a wonderful world.

Side by Side by Marina Florance and Mick Kennedy
When I asked Mick for permission to use “Side by Side” this is what he wrote:“I wrote Side by Side as a peace song and Marina recorded it at High Barn in Essex, a while after her album was released by them. The whole idea is to get people to listen and maybe learn to live with each other in peace. We made it a free download from their site and tried to encourage schools to adopt it as an anthem of sorts to try and work against racism.”
BE YOU
